Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 1 pound package Polish kielbasa, cut in rounds (could use pork stew meat or ground pork sausage)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 3 to 4 medium carrots (scraped and chopped)
  • 3 to 4 medium potatoes (peeled and cut in pieces)
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth or about 2 cups
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups sauerkraut or 1 (14.5 ounce can (Canned sauerkraut should be drained and rinsed several times))
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • I usually brown my sausage and onions in about 2 tablespoons of butter or oil before adding to crock pot but this is not necessary.  Add all ingredients to crock pot, stir to combine.
  • Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 4 hours or until carrots and potatoes are cooked.  Makes a 3 quart crock pot almost full or about 8 to 10 servings.
